[Q] Battery Drain from 100% to 91% regularly

Hello guys,
I have a problem with my Moto G, it's kind of weird.
It's not an Abrupt Drain, it's always drained from 100% to 91% in IDLE state regularly after a full charge to 100%.
Do you guys know how to fix this?
I have the screenshot below
Thak you!
I seem to have encountered this as well since upgrading to 4.4.3 (US Retail), a reboot immediately after charging usually prevents it. What's causing it I haven't had the time to figure out yet.

I thought it was a hardware problems.

GPE 4.4.4 draining battery and with some random reboots

Hi,
I´ve been using GPE 4.4.2 for a while. It worked really good, but when 4.4.4 came out, I wanted to update it.
I did a full wipe and install of 4.4.2 afterwards upgraded to 4.4.4 and then I restores my apps.
I think I´m getting less battery life in 4.4.4 than in 4.4.2.
Also, I got a couple of random reboots during this week.
Nothing huge, but I wanted to know if I´m the only one or if somebody else is facing the same problems.
I´m on stock kernel. Does someone have another kernel and configuration to recommend for GPE? My priority is battery life.
Thanks

I'm satisfied with 4.4.4 but it's true, battery life is less than 4.4.2
Thanks, I returned to 4.4.2
When I tried aerokernel, my phone got stuck, so I decided to go back to 4.4.2
The battery drain is a problem on all 4.4.4 stock ROMs (GPe included). Motorola f'ed something up so the phone is virtually in a continuous wakelock, with the cpu stuck at full clock speed. My new phone came with the 4.4.4 update already installed, battery life is crap compared to my old one that I stubbornly kept on 4.3, which lasted 3 days in standby. The new one with 4.4.4 barely makes it to 6 hours with no use at all.
Might I suggest installing CM when the release M9 - I certainally will when (if) it gets released.

I am back on 4.4.2 but I found a problem that I had in 4.4.4 also.
I normally have gps off and I just turn it on when I need to use it.
I´ve found in 4.4.2 with OSA maps and in 4.4.4 with TomTom that after I turn off the GPS, if I check the battery stats, these apps appear to consume a lot of my battery because they kept using the GPS for a lot of hours more.
Does it only happen to me?
Thanks

Cell Standby battery drain WiFi only

I've had my p8 max for about 3 months and after a few updates I've noticed I get huge battery drain by cell standby if I leave WiFi on in standby mode. I have the new update BO26 and while it seemed to solve the issue for a while after one charge cycle its back again. Wanted to know if anyone else is having this issue and if so what can be done to resolve it besides waiting on another firmware update. I've cleared cache and factory reset numerous times only to find out the problem returns. Thanks in advance. Oh yea, my phone isn't rooted which probably will also be a solution but as of now I want to avoid rooting.

OS Services Data Drain

I've seen this issue on a few other forums but none seem to of the same magnitude (in data size) and none have a definitive answer. Typically, the usage is 100-150mb.
I updated to Nougat on my Moto G4 last month and noticed a huge increase in the OS Services Wifi data usage since then. One day last week, I noticed that OS Services had used 1.92gb in a day, 19.7gb that week and 36.1gb month to date.
I've been in the house all day and noticed my battery dropping, I checked my stats and sure enough, OS Services is milking my data with 4.31gb so far today (3pm).
Has anyone had the same issues with OS Services and if so, how have they resolved it?
I'm assuming its a buggy version of Nougat on my device. I don't entirely trust OTA OS updates and back when I had an iphone, I always found the tethered update to leave less mess after it. Is there anyway to install a stock version of Nougat (or even Marshmallow) from the PC?

New firmware update to G930TTMB4BQE1

I just received the request to update.
Does anybody know what it is about? Did you try it yet?
I looked here and it is not there: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-30276
This is a 47Mb patch, did anybody see it before?
yeah, I got update last night.. its G930TUVS4BQE1 now. I am on ATT Carrier and using TMO rom currently cuz i hate ATT rom.... update size was 45ish MB. i was not pay attention on it.
Got the update, it mainly updates security patch level to the May 2017 edition. I have not seen or noticed any other change so far.
I have noticed a huge increase in battery life.
Same daily usage. Off the charger for 10 hours 21 minutes. exactly 2 hours SOT. 55% battery remaining.
Before the update, I would be down to 30% already!!!.
anybody else try this update how battery life for the rest of you
I think I'm doing better on battery life too. No hard numbers but just seems better.
Does anyone know where to get the firmware for this version? Somehow my phone became rooted and I'd like to reset it to stock. I have Odin but I'm having issues getting the blasted firmware. Thanks
